Uses and synthesis of Ferrous Lactate powder

Ferrous Lactate powder Greenish-white crystalline powder or crystal. Slightly smelly, slightly sweet metallic taste. Ferrous Lactate changes to a yellowish brown color containing ferric salts after being wet or oxidized in its aqueous solution. Light can promote oxidation. Iron ions react easily with other food additives to stain. Dissolved in water, forming a green transparent liquid, acidic. Almost insoluble in ethanol. Ferrous Lactate is mainly used to treat ischemic anemia, iron is an indispensable element of the body, is an important component of hemoglobin myoglobin and a variety of tissue enzymes. Lack of iron can cause iron deficiency anemia or other iron deficiency diseases; Ferrous Lactate powder has a high absorption rate and can be used as an iron supplement

What are the health benefits of ferrous lactate?

Effective iron supplementation and increased hemoglobin levels: The ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) in ferrous lactate have good bioavailability and are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. They participate in the synthesis of hemoglobin, thereby effectively increasing hemoglobin levels and improving anemia.

Improving symptoms of iron deficiency anemia: By supplementing iron, ferrous lactate can relieve and eliminate various symptoms caused by iron deficiency anemia, such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, palpitations, shortness of breath, pale complexion, decreased immunity, and inattention.

Preventing iron deficiency in pregnant women and fetuses: Pregnant women have a significantly increased demand for iron, and iron deficiency can affect the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Supplementing ferrous lactate during pregnancy can help prevent iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women, ensure the normal development of the fetus, and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes such as premature birth and low birth weight.

Promoting the growth and development of infants and young children: Infants and young children are a period of rapid growth and development, and the demand for iron is also high. The iron content in breast milk or formula milk is limited, and infants and young children are prone to iron deficiency. Appropriate supplementation of ferrous lactate can help meet the iron needs of infants and young children for growth and development, prevent iron deficiency anemia, and promote physical and intellectual development.

Improve athletes' athletic performance: Iron is involved in oxygen transport, and iron deficiency can affect athletic ability. Athletes are prone to sports anemia due to large amounts of exercise and more iron loss. Supplementation of ferrous lactate can help improve athletes' hemoglobin levels and improve oxygen transport capacity, thereby improving athletic endurance and performance.

Improve iron deficiency caused by menstrual blood loss in women: Women lose a certain amount of iron every month due to menstrual blood loss during menstruation, and long-term excessive menstrual flow can easily cause iron deficiency anemia. Appropriate supplementation of ferrous lactate during or after menstruation can help replenish the iron lost by menstrual blood loss and prevent iron deficiency anemia.

Enhance immunity: Iron is involved in the proliferation and function of immune cells. Iron deficiency can reduce immune function and increase the risk of infection. Supplementation of ferrous lactate can help improve immunity and enhance the body's resistance.

Application of Ferrous Lactate powder

Dietary supplements: This is the most important application of ferrous lactate. As a supplementary source of iron, it is used to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiency diseases in the world, especially in pregnant women, infants, adolescents and women with heavy menstruation. Ferrous lactate has become a common oral iron supplement ingredient due to its good bioavailability, mild gastrointestinal irritation and relatively low cost. It is widely used in various iron supplement preparations, such as tablets, capsules, oral liquids, granules, etc.

Food nutrient fortifier: In the food industry, ferrous lactate is approved as a food nutrient fortifier for fortifying iron. It can be used to fortify dairy products, cereal products, beverages, jams, infant foods, etc. Increasing the iron content of food helps prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency in the population. Because ferrous lactate has good solubility, good taste, and is not easy to cause changes in food flavor, it is widely used in the field of food fortification.

Medical use: In the medical field, in addition to being used in oral iron supplement preparations, ferrous lactate is sometimes also used to prepare raw materials for injection iron preparations for the treatment of severe iron deficiency anemia. However, other iron salts are usually used for injection, such as iron sucrose, iron dextran, etc., and ferrous lactate injection is relatively rare.

Animal feed additive: In animal husbandry, ferrous lactate can also be used as an animal feed additive to supplement the iron in the animal body, promote animal growth and development, and prevent animal iron deficiency diseases.

Preparation method of Ferrous Lactate powder

Direct reaction of iron with lactic acid: Directly react iron powder or iron filings with aqueous lactic acid solution under certain conditions to generate ferrous lactate and hydrogen.

Fe + 2CH₃CH(OH)COOH → Fe(CH₃CH(OH)COO)₂ + H₂

This method is simple and direct, but the reaction rate is slow and may require heating or catalyst assistance.

Double decomposition reaction: Double decomposition of soluble ferrous salts (such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous chloride) and lactates (such as calcium lactate, sodium lactate) to generate ferrous lactate precipitate, which is then filtered, washed and dried to obtain the finished ferrous lactate. For example, the reaction of ferrous sulfate with calcium lactate:

FeSO₄ + Ca(CH₃CH(OH)COO)₂ → Fe(CH₃CH(OH)COO)₂ + CaSO₄

This method has a fast reaction and a high yield, and is a commonly used method in industry.

Electrolysis: With iron as the anode and lactic acid solution as the electrolyte, the iron anode dissolves and combines with lactate ions to form ferrous lactate.

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ (anodic oxidation)

Fe²⁺ + 2CH₃CH(OH)COO⁻ → Fe(CH₃CH(OH)COO)₂ (combined in solution)

The ferrous lactate prepared by electrolysis has a higher purity, but the cost is relatively high.
